Nevada's Anarchy - An American Future....Perhaps Poem by James B. Earley

Nevada's Anarchy - An American Future....Perhaps



Confrontation....armed rebellion
America's future..the 'Rancher's' choice
Armed rebellion's wizard wisdom
..In Bill-Of-Rights bamboozled voice

Seems twisted logic as public policy
Feeds anarchy's dubious plight
Second Amendment's rhetorical glory
Viewed again.....as righteous-right

Confrontation....armed rebellion
Banana Republic's course of choice
..Banana Republics have their places
Simply not under the flag we hoist
*
*
Wherein all this...the Paiute Nation
Indigenous tribes displaced before
Leave argument rest within its traces
Hypocrisy buried 'neath desert's floor


Author's Note:
Author's Note: Three in 10 registered American voters believe an armed rebellion might be necessary in the next few years, according to the results of a staggering poll released Wednesday 1 May 2013 by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind. The survey, aimed at measuring public attitudes toward gun issues, found that 29 percent (Sixty nine MILLION) of Americans agree with the statement, 'In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties.”
